Katowice was always the most viewed and the most epic Intel® Extreme Masters event. And as the 2019 Winter Major, it will push its own standard to a brand new level. 24 of the world’s best teams will come to Katowice to compete for $1,000,000.

Both the Champions and the Legends Stages will be played in front of live audiences. The Katowice International Congress Center will host the four day Legends Stage and the best eight teams from there will play for the championship for four days in front of a full capacity crowd on the iconic stage in Spodek.

At a legendary Place

It’s tough to explain the power of the Spodek without being there for Intel® Extreme Masters.

The 11,500 capacity venue is home to the world’s oldest esports arena event. It has seen some of the greatest names in esports go down the catwalk and pick up the famous IEM trophy.

The whole city lives IEM. Tens of thousands of fans come to Spodek every year to fete the worlds best gamers. They are a part of the magic to the same degree as the most audacious plays. They make it a dream and an honor for players to compete there.
